Hey so what I forgot big deal, the point is it would be cool to go into Lilly's mind. And also the way I see it as long as you can understand what i'm typing it dosent matter if I make a few grammer mistakes. And I also like my user name.

I'll bet it would drive dear Razputin up quite a few trees to find himself in a water-heavy mind, much like a Psychonaut that's also a sailor, while trying to avoid the Hand of Galochio at almost ALL times.

The sounds of waves crashed near the shore and a lone girl stood alone, practicing her fighting skills against a fully-animated human dummy made of water. Switchblades in hand, she made her mark almost every time. The last time, however, was a miss that got her send back flying.

"Great, I'm being kicked by a creature I made with my own Hydrokinesis," she muttered before getting back up on her feet, returning the dummy to the ocean.

Yeah, Levitation would be very handy. And seeing what Raz's mind really looks like would be cool. I wanna see what happened when he first saw the Hand of Galochio...then again, I have my theories.

yeah that would be a cool idea and maybe you could also like throw a confusion grenade at it or something. personally I think he should be able to levitate above the water without the hand of galochio being able to reach him.

Well, I kind of have my theories about that Hand. Once I get my "Hand of Galochio" story up, you'll see what those theories are.

Now, if he's a room with a memory, I don't think he should be affected by the hand at all, sort of making himself like a ghost that can't be seen, heard or touched. (The ability to go through things on that part of the mind...sweetness.)

Speaking of Raz's mind...I wanna see what Raz looks like at about...oh, age 5?

I'll bet Razputin would be greatly RELIEVED if he could break the curse on him. Though even if he doesn't break the curse on him, learning Hydrokinesis would help him be able to fight against the Hand long enough to get the hell away from the water.

Galochio... how about in his mind, there is like a giant hand statue covered in tiny hands, and by psi-blasting each one you can be freed from the curse and swim and such and gain hydrokinesis...

That idea does rock. Not only would Raz break the curse but he would get a new power to. Speaking of wich I think in the last game they didn't have enough powers, in the next game I hope they have like a psiwave blast or electrokenesis. That would own!!!!!

If I told you I brok my radius would you understand what I just said? I bet you wouldn't but apparently as I found out a radius is a bone in your arm. Weird huh

Clearly you are a n00b for not using the correct internet language, pwn.

New powers and FINALLY proving all our Sasha/Milla lovey dovey fanfictions correct would be dandy.

If it was set a few years later it'd be nice to go into some of the people's minds you couldn't go into before(Lili, other camp kids, etc.)

I think it would be nice if we needed to go into Sasha's mind again...But this time you'd see more. I was thinking about Sasha's second memory vault and it totally explains why you don't see anything about Milla. Think about it...When his mind went nuts I bet that was the FIRST thing he hid again...I mean he was pretty freaked when he saw that stuff about his mom, I bet his mind is very strict when a child is in there...

That would be cool, and of course some fun baddies. If they make it(oh the wonderful word if...) I would like more things you needed to do outside of someone's mind. Like in Milla's memories..The whole secret agent thing.

Oh! And as said before Raz would have to break the curse...Not sure how they would do that, either he'd have to go into the minds of the gypsies and fight 'em, or they'd make him go in there as a test(Why did they curse his family anyway? I think that's a major factor..)

Officially, I hear there was a rivalry between Razputin's family and the Galochio family, both of them circus families...hey, wait a second, Razputin is a gypsy himself? That thought just hit me on the forehead.

well if someone with the last name of Schafer is reading this, I'll say some intelligent and thoughtful things now.

Firstly, Invader Zim was cancelled because Viacom's stock went down, so they cut the show since MONEY IS SO GOD DAMN IMPORTANT WE MUST HAVE MORE YES YES YES.

On that note, if Double Fine were to be commissioned to make an Invader Zim platformer, that would be awesome. How to translate the three-dimensional impossibilities from the show would be another matter.

As for the original topic, the idea of a Psychonauts sequel seems appealing, but think about it: the game is so rich in history, depth, characters that it seems fertile for a sequel, yet on the other hand the game itself is a complete work of art, a masterpiece in itself, so to make a sequel that could top the original would be a nearly impossible task. But then again, this whole thread is hypothetical. I'd be content if there was no Psychonauts sequel, because Double Fine would have made another amazing, original game instead for us to adore.

As for the worlds:

Inside the mind of a person struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder would be interesting. Endless panels counting from one to four, a creepy crawly contamination that scratches its way through the person's imagination, having him obsessively clean over and over even though the OCD keeps making new germs. You try and shut doors but they keep opening by themselves, stovetops burn even though the power is off, and you have to reach the depths of the contamination zone to fight the OCD monster, a giant gelatinous filthy beast that makes this mind hell.

I also thought what the mind of someone who eats to feel better inside is like. Probably some bizarre landscape where magma that screams with anger and sorrow is drowned by big chunks of food that fall from the sky.

Doctor Loboto's mind would be fun to see, it could be like an old black-and-white scifi film like Frankenstein, with the monster being Loboto's id run amok.

If it was on the 360, we could totally download new minds. We could get:
Whispering Rock Denzien Minds (Milka's would be total nothing. Just try to get through in one life.)
Raz's real mind (not just the caravan)

At the end of the first game they're going to rescue Lili's kidnapped father! I think this would be a terrific storyline to follow up--you'd get to see a lot more of Lili, for one thing, and learn about the Psychonauts as a whole--maybe it could take place in the main Psychonaut HQ! That would be all kinds of cool.

I also think it would be cool to have a multiplayer version--maybe an add-on or unlockable thing--where a couple of people could play Sasha and Milla. Team fighting is not something we got a lot of in the original. Sasha would probably have great Psi Blast skills, and Milla would be able to Levitate for much longer than a regular Psychonaut? I hope we'd get to see more of Sasha and Milla's pseudo-relationship, too.

New skills you could learn from the other Psychonauts at HQ--I like the idea of hydrokinesis, parting the water! Maybe the Psychonaut who gives it to you could be called Moses () and have a watery mind that requires a ****-tonne of platforming until you get the ability. Maybe a surfing based mind?

Ford's mind - I could see it being organized into a bunch of different sections with the various personas, and with the real Cruller in the very centre, hidden away--maybe Raz would be able to sort out Cruller's shattered psyche? Maybe too it could include something to do with that very sexy female voice in the tree-trunk underground transporter thing? Like...his former sexy sidekick and secret love who was killed in the line of duty or something. Or maybe she still works at HQ and there can be complex drama! A skill to get from Ford would be teleportation--we know he can do it from the original, and it would be a good one to incorporate into other essential gameplay. Instead of teleport worms have glowing blue buttons you can save to teleport back to--but you can only save 3 locations at a time, maybe?

Lili's mind - I don't know what would be here, probably something (once again) to do with her father, since he is the head of the Psychonauts! Maybe she feels she has a lot to live up to, and is rebelling, maybe she needs to reconcile with her dad just like Raz. This mind should be near the end, and be a key to get to her dad.

Raz's dad's mind - Can you imagine? It would probably have memories of the gypsy psychics that killed his father, as well as his circus and acrobatics memories. And more of Raz's mother?

An OCD mind would be *fantastic* like someone suggested previously, as would a cyborg mind--it might look like the matrix, all moving, green, zeroes and ones.

How about the mind of a yogic master? A super-calm, organic place, but with magma under the surface. Maybe Lili's mom is into yoga and meditation? Maybe it's just another Psychonaut who can teach Raz a "Meditation" skill at the end that will give him back health? There would be complications with this, of course, since it could make the game much too easy early on and without the right restrictions, but still!

What about a horror movie mind? Werewolves, zombies, and vampires are all paranormal like psychics, it would be an interesting fit. Maybe Raz could learn Alchemy and turn the things he has to kill the werewolves with into gold/silver, etc.?

Other skills Raz could learn in addition to the ones he already has: Teleportation, hydrokinesis, meditation, alchemy,like I mentioned above, but also telepathy (used to get key information out of the minds of people at HQ, since this is no longer a training facility, and there won't always be someone to give you information straight up, but it could also be used for mind control on weaker-minded individuals like...grounds crew or something at HQ), and precognition: since Raz is already a gypsy, this is a natural fit.

You could even get more into the pseudoscience realm and explore the two realms of psychic powers: psi-kappa and psi-gamma (one is action-based, the other is strictly cognitive, or passive). With that cyborg mind? Psionics! Maybe there Raz could learn Electrokinesis there, but I think it would be pretty close to the Psi-blast, unless he had to draw it from electronics or power outlets nearby. (Although that is fringing on an Okami ripoff.)

You could EVEN go all Freudian or Jungian and have a mind full of archetypes (for Jung) and one full of sexual repression (Freud). Maybe?

What about some crazy thing where the first half of the game nothing is real and raz is trapped in sombodies mind and doesn't even realise. Or even weirder: HE NEVER WOKE UP FROM THE MEAT CIRCUS!?!?! He's brain has formed a complex networks of what he wants to happen: He's dad accepting him, he becoming a psyconaut, oly becoming good again, its all lies he's mind is inventing because he and oly are still tangled and they are still trying to wake Raz up!.

Anyway that's not very good.

YES.

I'm done putting links in my signature because every time I do it just links to some old crap I've long since stopped updating.

Maybe one that has all sorts of Psychonauts missions, only in the end for Raz to wake up and find that he's still holding the pamphlet for the camp. 1)He never went there and his dad gives him the talk on being psychic. 2)He's just another kid reading a comic about psychic agents and superheroes, etc.
Expanding on the never woke up from Meat Circus idea: His brain is separate from Oleander's, but is traumatized (Oly was a master). Instead of playing as Raz, you play as other campers and trainers (I'd like to see hear Bobby Zilch's comments as he runs through Raz' head).
Okay, I'd rather have Raz, the new official Psychonaut, doing those missions...a mad scientist trying to release chem weapons, actually fighting off real enemy agents (yeah, they'll be a lot taller than him), and maybe mini-mind controls where he zips into an enemy peon's head (say a gate guard) to take control. Nothing too long/major with them.
